Factorio Forums

I have recently tried to upload an updated mod (has been outdated for > 1 year) to the mod portal. I have filled out everything appropriately and followed the Factorio Wiki but despite what name I give this mod it always tells me "Mod with that name already exists." The file name has no spaces.

Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing? I have just updated the version of TurboTurbo to the most recent version of Factorio as it seems some of us have been asking for this for a while.

Thank you for your help and time!

Updating other people's mods is not allowed. If you get the author's permission they can transfer ownership to you.

Otherwise you need to make a new "name" field in info.json and the zip/folder name, and submit it as a new mod. Also ensure that the original mod's license allows you to do that.

DaveMcW is correct. If you wish to continue maintaining somebody else's mod, I suggest contacting the creator of the mod and asking them to make you a collaborator, or transfer ownership of the mod to you.
